The MBB represents its parent organisations in Brussels and Malta, by liaising directly with the European institutions, the Maltese Permanent Representation and with umbrella organisations such as BUSINESSEUROPE, EUROCHAMBRES and HOTREC on all policy and funding issues affecting Maltese business interests.
One of the main tasks of the organisation is to provide information to the Maltese Business Community with regards to EU Direct (...)Main EU files targeted
The organization follows areas of Internal Market Policy, Legal Affairs, SME policy, Tourism policy, Company Law, Industrial policy, Social and Employment policy
